Homecoming Parade By Kip Chafin
The Homecoming Pa-
rade was very exhila-
rating. From the foot-
ball players, to the Band
with its blaring horns
and drum line. While it
was hot and humid,
everyone came out and
showed supported. All
of the Floats were very
festive and embellished,
and all participants had
a lot of fun.
“The Homecoming pa-
rade was very eventful.
It was good for the foot-
ball players to know
that all the students
were behind them.” -
said Lacey Johnson

Softball Breast Cancer Awareness By Courtney Hamilton
The Softball team played
Cairo on September 9.
They won 3-1 in a tough
head-to-head region
match-up. Each player got
to escort a Breast Cancer

to release a balloon and
received a rose and a bag
of goodies to show our
appreciation.

Homecoming Football Game By Tanner Anderson
Have you heard the saying “Every once
in a blue moon?” That was the case this
year for homecoming. The Rams didn’t
take the field on a regular old Friday
night, but instead on a scorching hot
Saturday before the homecoming
dance. The previous night the field had
been flooded with heavy down pours of
rain and thunder all night long. A mud-
dy field and something to fight for. The
Rams started out with a 6-0 lead over
the Crisp County Cougars in the 1st
quarter. The game went on into a slug
fest, and came down to which defenses
could make the most stops. The first
half closed with a tie though, both
teams at 20 and battling out for domi-
nance. That though was not the case for
the 2nd half. The Rams kicked off the
third quarter with a spark. Both teams
showed big plays and playing hard nose
football. It came down to the end
though in the 4th quarter. The Rams
were trailing by just a point 27-26. The
defense came out and took control of
the game. Safety Eric Burrows made the
play to end the game with an end zone
interception to ice the game. The Rams
would win the game 36-27 after key
defensive stops by the Rams. This would
give the Rams their first win of the sea-
son. Running back Dontavious Buford
rushed for 150 yards in the game. Key
safety Eric Burrows would end the game
with two interceptions and a Touch-
down. Full back Cameron Farley would
end it with two touchdowns. It was a
barn burner till the end, but the Rams
would ultimately prevail and put this
game in the books.

Player of the Month
Game Center
Our Featured Player of the
Month for September is John Acord.
John moved to Worth County High
School from Sherwood Christian Acade-
my. He is a senior starting football play-
er who plays tight end. Apart from foot-
ball, he plans on joining the baseball
team this year. His goal for the future is
going to college at Valdosta State Uni-
versity. His hobbies include fishing,
hunting, and playing football.
“I play football for the strength and
agility it gives me. Being tight end is my
favorite because I get to block, hitting
people in the game is intense and gives
you a rush.”

Homecoming
Dance
By Rebecca Diaz
At Worth County High School
there is a annual dance to cele-
brate the return of students and
school year. This year’s theme
for Homecoming was Disney. It
was every girl’s chance to be the
princess they have always
dreamt to be. The night was
filled with dancing, laughter, and
excitement.
“The dance was fine to me, as a
senior I've been homecomings
before so I already knew what to
expect. However, it was one of
the best Homecoming I went to
in my high school years.” said
senior Jill Young
“Homecoming was more ex-
citing and everyone had more
freedom than anything I've ever
experienced before. The dances
from middle school did not com-
pare. There was people there
who didn't have dates and that
really surprised me.” said fresh-

The Campus Question
Guess Who?
If you were given 24 hours to live, what would you do?
If I was informed at school, I would leave and gather my wife and children. We
would all go out to a nice expensive dinner.
Stanley Garland, Spanish Teacher
I would make sure to get at least one thing off my bucket list; skydiving.
Ashlyn Dailey, Junior and Abby Daniel, Freshmen
